The course will focus on the impact of large- and small-scale institutions in Germany, Italy, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, France, and Sweden in shaping an aesthetics of the postcolonial. Students will become familiar with curatorial strategies in contemporary exhibition and institution practices. The course is open to all CCA graduate students.____History and Theory courses are designed to hone students' critical skills through intensive reading and writing assignments. Recent course topics have included gender, ethics, disease, aesthetics, and discourse on global art movements of the past 50 years.
